RETREAD RELIABILITY SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION Since 1995, 5 independent studies were conducted to assess the reliability of retreaded tires in the marketplace. Each study came out in support of retreading.

Retreaded Tires Are Used Everyday COMMERCIAL SCHOOL BUSES TRUCKING FIRMS AIRLINES • “Our tires spend most of their productive life • High-scrub fleets often retread 8 times or more. • Our most precious cargo transported as retreads…” every school day. • Package delivery & waste removal fleets commonly retread for the steer position. • “On average, main-gear tires can handle from five to nine retreads, and nose-gear tires can be recapped from three to 15 times”*. *Rbt L. Crandall, Chariman, American Airlines, 2000

RETREADS: A RELIABLE, PROFITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, CHOICE for fleets of all sizes, maximizing tire asset potential & maximizing total cost of ownership.

RETREADS: A RELIABLE, PROFITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, CHOICE We must make retreading an integral part of replacement tire business and continue to educate the industry on the value of retreads as we move toward sustainable mobility in the future.
